Heroes of Arcania
Nova Benson, an Arcania high school student, is big sister to Starling, best friend to Henry, and has teen problems like homework, boy crushes, and hiding a gift she does not want the world to know about.
Not even Henry knows Nova is invulnerable and has super strength. But its all for naught when Nova, Starling, and their dad, the city District Attorney, enter a bank where criminal mastermind, Fortune and his band of thieves are escaping with bags of loot. To make a statement of terror, the criminal kills the DA’s youngest daughter with a bolt of electricity discharged from his hands.
Nova is devastated by the loss of her little sister, but in time revenge becomes Nova’s ambition and a hero is born.
A new family, the Warners, moves into Nova’s neighborhood. Penelope is a junior and brother Cole a senior. They too have extraordinary abilities. Cole is a Timekeeper with the power to stop time while Penelope has the ability to move objects with her mind—telekinesis.
Author Liz Long has a firm understanding of teen angst and hormonal upheavals as she relates Nova and Cole’s story in each character’s voice. Romance between Nova and Cole is written beautifully as is Cole’s role as big brother to troublesome Penelope.
SuperNova: Heroes of Arcania is the first installment to the Heroes of Arcania, a series that consists of three books following one story arc. YA readers will not be disappointed by this fast-paced, high-octane novel. Its subsequent sequels seem to offer the same sit at the edge of your seat action.
Pop’s Rating:
Liz Long is a proud graduate of Longwood University. Her inspiration comes from action and thriller genres and she spends entirely too much time watching superhero movies. Her day job includes writing for a magazine publisher in Roanoke, VA.
The Donovan Circus series has best been described as “X-Men meets the circus.” Adult horror story Witch Hearts tells the tale of a serial killer hunting witches for their powers. New Adult PNR A Reaper Made is about a teen Reaper who gets caught between falling in love or saving her sister’s soul. All titles are available for paperback or ebook on Amazon.
